DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, a first preferred embodiment of amoveable basketball hoop device in accordance with the present inventionhas a mounting module 1, a backboard 30, and a rim 40.

The mounting module 1 is mounted on a side of a door panel D and has twobase belts 10 and four fixing portions 20. The base belts 10 areelongated and are arranged at an interval. Each base belt 10 has a topend and a bottom end. The four fixing portions 20 are respectivelymounted on the two top ends and the two bottom ends of the base belts10, such that the mounting module 1 can be mounted on the side of thedoor panel D by the four fixing portions 20. Preferably, each fixingportion 20 may be a hook. The fixing portions 20 can be hooked on thedoor panel D, wherein two of the fixing potions 20 are hooked on a topof the door panel D, and the other two fixing portions 20 are hooked ona bottom of the door panel D.

Alternatively, the fixing portions 20 may be formed as buckles and arefastened on the door panel D.

The backboard 30 is moveably mounted on the base belts 10 of themounting module 1, and has a body 31 and multiple fixing buckles 50. Thefixing buckles 50 are mounted on a side of the body 31 at a positionfacing toward the door panel D. Preferably, the backboard 30 has fourfixing buckles 50. Two of the fixing buckles 50 are inserted by one ofthe base belts 10, and the other two fixing buckles 50 are inserted bythe other base belt 10.

Each fixing buckle 50 has a fixing plate 51, a fixing unit 52 and abuckle space 53. The fixing plate 51 is mounted on the side of the body31. The fixing unit 52 is pivotally mounted on a side of the fixingplate 51 at a position opposite to the body 31. The buckle space 53 isformed between the fixing unit 52 and the fixing plate 51. The bucklespace 53 is inserted by the corresponding base belt 10. The base belts10 are respectively clamped tightly by the corresponding fixing unit 52and the corresponding fixing plate 51, such that the backboard 30 can befixed on the base belts 10.

Alternatively, the backboard 30 may have two fixing buckles 50, whereinthe two fixing buckles 50 are mounted on a top portion of the body 31and respectively clamp the base belts 10.

The rim 40 is mounted on the body 31 of the backboard 30 at a sideopposite to the base belts 10.

In use, the base belts 10 are mounted on the side of the door panel D bythe fixing portions 20, wherein the fixing portions 20 are respectivelymounted on the top and the bottom of the door panel D. When a height ofthe backboard 30 needs to be adjusted, the fixing units 52 are pulled todisengage from the base belts 10. Then, the fixing units 52 are notpressed and do not abut against the base belts 10, and the heights ofthe fixing buckles 50 can be adjusted relative to the base belts 10.Therefore, a position of the backboard 30 can be adjusted relative tothe base belts 10.

After the position of the backboard 30 is adjusted, the fixing units 52are pushed to press the base belts 10 to abut against the fixing plate51 tightly, such that the fixing plate 51 cannot be moved relative tothe base belts 10. Therefore, the position of the moveable basketballhoop device relative to the door panel D can be adjusted according tothe demand of a user.

With reference to FIG. 5, a mounting module 1A of a second preferredembodiment of the moveable basketball hoop device in accordance with thepresent invention has two fixing portions 20A. Each fixing portion 20Ahas a connecting plate 21A and a hook 22A. One of the connecting plates21A of the fixing portions 20A is connected with the two top ends of thebase belts 10, and the other connecting plate 21A is connected with thetwo bottom ends of the base belts 10. The hooks 22A are respectivelymounted on the connecting plates 21A. The moveable basketball hoopdevice is mounted on the door panel D by the hooks 22A of the fixingportions 20A.

With reference to FIG. 6, a mounting module 1B of a third preferredembodiment of the moveable basketball hoop device in accordance with thepresent invention has two base belts 10B. Each base belt 10B is annularand mounted around the door panel D directly.

From the above description, it is noted that the present invention hasthe following advantages: the fixing buckles 50 can be moved relative tothe base belts 10, such that the height of the rim 40 can be adjusted.For an adult, the rim 40 may be moved to a high position. For a child,the rim 40 may be moved to a low position. Therefore, the moveablebasketball hoop device is applicable for users of different heights.
